We came four votes away from the U.S. Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The Statement of Purpose from the Bill reads: "To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty." The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S. and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo. Astonishingly, 46 out of our 100 United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power. Here are the 46 senators who voted to give your rights to the U.N. Boxer (D-CA) Feinstein (D-CA) Bennett (D-CO) Udall (D-CO) Blumenthal (D-CT) Murphy (D-CT) Carper (D-DE) Coons (D-DE) Nelson (D-FL) Hirono (D-HI) Schatz (D-HI) Harkin (D-IA) Durbin (D-IL) Landrieu (D-LA) Cowan (D-MA) Warren (D-MA) Cardin (D-MD) Mikulski (D-MD) King (I-ME) Levin (D-MI) Stabenow (D-MI) Franken (D-MN) Klobuchar (D-MN) McCaskill (D-MO) Baucus (D-MT) Menendez (D-NJ) Shaheen (D-NH) Udall (D-NM) Reid (D-NV) Gillibrand (D-NY) Schumer (D-NY) Brown (D-OH) Merkley (D-OR) Wyden (D-OR) Casey (D-PA) Reed (D-RI) Whitehouse (D-RI) Johnson (D-SD) Cantwell (D-WA) Kaine (D-VA) Warner (D-VA) Leahy (D-VT) Murray (D-WA) Sanders (I-VT) Baldwin (D-WI) Rockefeller (D-WV) Folks: This needs to go viral.
